Abstract
Disclosed herein are an X-ray imaging apparatus for providing information about accurate breast density, and a control method of the X-ray imaging apparatus. The X-ray imaging apparatus includes a reconstructing unit configured to reconstruct volumes relating to an object from an X-ray image of the object, a first reference image of the object generated based on the object being of only adipose tissue, and a second reference image of the object generated based on the object being of only fibroglandular tissue, and a density calculator configured to calculate a density of the object that is a ratio of fibroglandular tissue of the object with respect to entire tissue of the object using the reconstructed volumes of the object.
